Rising Spirit

far beyond dissaray,
far beyond discontent,
there's a place unknown to human eyes, where the soul can rise and decend.
when we cannot grasp life's shortcomings, or understand just why,
god lifts our spirits to the place of return, and so we accept we cannot try,
we ask with sincere devotion "why can't we just let go?"
He said "your feelings remain there to help you share, and it's only teaching you to grow,"
growing in stature and stamina,
if you practice enough, you will see,
you will have the ability to rise on top the mountain with honor and integrity,
i will not let you fall to the ground, if you stumble i'll pick you up,
your first response will be is to respond to me, so please don't ever give up
